Coffee Saved My Dad's Life
The relationship between fathers and sons is a complicated one. And mine with my Dad was no different. I have never been a particularly religious person. My parents never pushed religion on me. My Grandma took my sister and me to church when we were little, but nothing ever came of that. We got older and lost interest. But my Grandma always maintained one phrase that stuck with me. That everything in life happens for a reason. Nowadays, you see that line used everywhere. Most often in social media And it is often used out of context. But if you genuinely dissect the phrase down to its core, it can be hauntingly eerie. Are small minor events throughout your life ultimately leading to one event? Is it possible? I never thought so. Not until that very concept ended up saving my father's life.
